Concubine Xuan stared at Concubine Lan for a long moment, knowing that she could not get the third prince back.
He stepped forward and threw the things on the table to the ground, including the broken tea set and debris scattered on the ground.
"Li Yushi, I won't let you go."
Concubine Lan stood up, her momentum was not inferior to that of Concubine Xuan. She had always had a docile temper, but when she stood today, she looked a little taller, her eyes were much sharper, and she looked like she was not afraid of trouble.
"I'm waiting for you." Lan Fei's tone was still calm, but she gave a powerful reply.
Concubine Xuan clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, turned and left.
The servants quickly came in to clean up the debris in this place.
"Concubine Xuan seems to have a grudge against you." Jin Xin said.
Concubine Lan now has no choice but to stand with herself.
"It doesn't matter whether you remember grudges or not. We're not from the same group." Lan Fei sat down and looked up at Jin Xin. They looked at each other. They had a clear understanding of each other. They were already standing on a ship and no one could get off the ship. .
"Concubine Xuan actually has a simple temper. Although she was a little happy in the past, she would not be so aggressive. Now that the third prince is gone, maybe she will be more restrained and not continue to take the wrong path." Jin Xin said with a chuckle.
Lan Fei thought about it and agreed that it was difficult to stick to one's heart, but if you have owned something before, you would not be willing to go back to where you started.
Concubine Lan didn't want to cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid of trouble coming to her.
After Concubine Xuan returned, she did calm down a lot.
It was already the twelfth lunar month, and the snow came late this year, but it was a heavy snowfall. It had been snowing for several days in a row, and there was a thick layer outside. The palace people cleaned it every day, and the workload was very heavy.
The emperor almost no longer enters the harem, with the excuse that he is busy with government affairs.
But I still had to see several children every day. They all went to Concubine Lan's place, but they didn't stay overnight. They only stayed in Cheng'en Palace, and most of the time, they only stayed in Cheng'en Palace.
The eyes of the harem gate were all fixed on Chengen Palace, and even many concubines, in order to see the emperor, often came to Chengen Palace to pay their respects and sit down.
Jin Xin was willing to talk to them, sometimes listening to them talk about interesting things they encountered in the palace, or things at home.
After Concubine Xuan lost the third prince, her ambition became much more decadent. When she often saw Concubine Lan, she would even stimulate her with words if nothing happened.
Concubine Lan responded in a calm tone. She always realized what she just said after returning to the palace, which made her feel angry.
The days are wandering, and it is the middle of the twelfth lunar month.
At night, Jin Xin slept soundly.
The emperor stroked Jin Xin's hair with fascination in his eyes. The more he looked at her, the more he felt moved.
Jin Xin was so tired that she just wanted to sleep.
"The renovation of Kunning Palace is about to be completed. I plan to let you live in it when Xingxing comes back. What do you think?" the emperor asked.
Jin Xin hummed in confusion, pulled the quilt and fell asleep.
The emperor frowned, pinched her chin, and stepped forward to bite her ear. Jin felt pain, and suddenly opened her eyes and turned away from him, "Your Majesty, I am sleeping."
"I asked you something, but you didn't reply." He looked at her dissatisfied.
Jin Xin was a little helpless, sitting up and kneeling, looking dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, please speak. I am listening to you, and I will respond to everything with sincerity."
She was really annoyed. In the past, he had to compete for favors, but now he doesn't go anywhere else, but is here almost every night. She feels that the workload is too much.
The emperor did not dare to face other women. At first she was quite gloating about her misfortune, but now she felt that it was really torture.
It would be better for him to rest somewhere else.
He couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing her perfunctory and angry look, he felt helpless. "I told you to move into Kunning Palace before summer."
Jin Xin's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she quickly asked, "Your Majesty, are you not afraid that people in the world will say that you favor the demon concubine?"
The rumors outside have been circulating for more than a month, and I didn't pay much attention to them at first. Someone brought them up to the court, saying that Jin Xin was a demon concubine, and asked the emperor to deal with it immediately.
The emperor ignored it.
These people are getting more and more outrageous. Every day when they go to court and have nothing to do, there are always one or two people who say something ignorant.
Jiangqu Wushou came out one after another and asked the officials who spoke, what is a demon concubine, how has she harmed the country, whether she has brought trouble to the world, whether she has interfered in politics, and whether she has killed innocent people indiscriminately.
A series of questions left those few speechless. It was true that there was no such thing.
But letting the emperor favor only one person just doesn't work.
General Gu then stood up and showed the achievements of the imperial concubine, giving birth to a prince, managing the harem, experiencing life and death with the emperor, being respectful and polite, and abiding by the palace rules. Isn't it worthy of the emperor's special favor?
People on both sides argued endlessly, but to no avail.
The emperor finally asked everyone to shut up and not mention it again, but the matter naturally spread to the harem, and many servants were also talking about the imperial concubine being arbitrary and not allowing other concubines to sleep with her.
Jin Xin felt miserable, was she going to dominate?
The emperor also knew that she had been wronged by this matter, but he could not explain it.
That's why I thought of compensating her in advance.
"Even if I am a demon concubine, I have to be willing to do so before I can become a demon concubine. Why should you take those people's nonsense seriously?" The emperor smiled and pinched her chin.
"If the emperor doesn't stop me, I'm afraid that after a while, those ministers will not ask the emperor to deal with my concubine, but will order my concubine to be executed." Jin Xin said with resentful eyes.
He stepped forward and took her into his arms, saying softly, "How can I let you go? You are the most important person in my heart, and I will not do that."
"Then your Majesty promised me, you must remember what you say now, and you cannot go against what you said." Jin Xin raised her head and looked at him seriously.
He smiled and said, "I swear, I will never execute you."
Jin Xin then turned around and fell asleep again.
Nowadays, the New Year is busy, and the expenses of various palaces have doubled. Jinxin looked at the accounts, and there were many more than last year. When she saw the expenses, they were all used by Concubine Xiao. It was also the last time. Jinxin will Everything in her palace was smashed, so she went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replenish the items, and they were all the best.
After Jin Xin passed the message, it would be replenished according to the normal specifications. If you don’t want it, it would be sent away.
It’s great to be able to make up for her, and I dare to ask for the best.
Concubine Xiao looked at the things that were brought and she smashed the tea cup angrily, "You are really using chicken feathers as arrows. Even with these things, it is not as generous as what I spend at home."
Shuangxi stepped forward to pick up the broken tea cup and sighed, "We offended the imperial concubine earlier. She is trying to put on our little shoes."
Concubine Xiao closed her eyes when she heard this. It was Concubine Lan who ruined things last time. Otherwise, she would have succeeded, so how could she have done this now.
However, she couldn't continue to fight against him, so she could only give in first.
But it doesn't mean that he will really let her go.
"Go and invite Concubine Xuan to sit here." Concubine Xiao opened her eyes again, and her eyes were shrewd again.
She has made a mistake once, and she will never make a mistake again.
Concubine Xuan is the most impulsive and easy to take advantage of. Last time she wanted to use her to deal with the imperial concubine. When she showed a little helplessness and agreed, Concubine Xuan became very calculating. People like her couldn't be easier to take advantage of.
